class gathering

dunno wads the ocassion but mrs chak invited us to her house for a 2A class gathering. the usual people turned up:
alvin, wei xing, wee kiat, sylvia, ler xian,
yong soon, yi hong, jun jie, qing sheng, yibo,
jian rong, roy, nina, elaine, suling, beatrice, shu hui,
and of course me.

at first, we played cards. then it was dinner time. mrs chak made curry chicken and asked her maid to fry some pratas. after dinner, me, alvin, shu hui, yi hong and peng bo played monopoly. peng bo was very active... and very loud as he made all those exaggerated actions (as usual) lol.
during the game, i kept going to jail and ended up with the least property after about 8-10 rounds- only had 1 red (property), 1 yellow, 1 grey. yi hong had 2 reds, 1 yellow, 1 orange, 1 railway, 2 greens, 1 pink. shu hui had 2 greys, 2 pinks, 1 blue. peng bo bought 2 purples, 2 oranges, 1 railway. then alvin decided to quit and put his property up for auction- 1 green, 1 railway, 1 utilities and 1 blue.
it was the turning point for me when i bid for the green and the railway. i traded the green for yihong's yellow piece and traded my grey +money for shu hui's yellow piece.
at the same time, yi hong sold his orange to peng bo -__- and this was another turning point. peng bo built 3 houses per property (that's 200 rent per visit...) and it caused us to lose lots of money to him esp shu hui and yi hong (i was lucky, only landed on his property once).
after many rounds, i finally landed on my property and built 3houses per property (850 per visit). this was another turning point because it made me quick bucks and it was this that let me win the game =)

btw, halfway thru the monopoly game, some people had to leave, so we took a grp photo.

after the monopoly game, i went over to the remaining guys and they were playing mass "cai quan". losing meant drinking one shot of curry and eating one otah. (note the otahs were not very well cooked). in the end, ler xian was the most unluckiest person. he lost 5 times...drank 5 shots of curry and ate 5 otahs. jian rong and qing sheng were lucky and finished the game unscathed.
